I have a 1 year old and we will be camping this summer with her. Any suggestions on how to set up a feeding situation? The only thing I have come up with is using her stroller but looking for other ideas.

What can I do next?

we love camping with our little ones! :) we did the stroller thing for feeding, but we also brought along our booster seat with tray that straps onto a chair. we just sat it on a blanket. it worked to keep her in a seat without her feeling like she was in the stroller all day and it had the tray so food wasn't all over the place!
have fun!

portable seat for dining out:) we also have the bumbo seat? forgot spelling:)
Stroller is good too, but some babies think stroller is for strolling not eating, may need a special "eating" chair:)

We have a Chicco Portable Travel Seat that just hooks onto any table! It is awesome!!!! We have used it camping, at friends houses, etc. Worth every penny! There are other models that are more or less expensive, but they are all around $50.

There's also the bouncy chair option.
Also there's chairs that can be cinched right to the picnic table.
Other than that the other suggestions people have come up with so far are good ones. :)

We use the stroller, and if we know we're going to a state park or somewhere where a picnic table will be at our site, we have one of those portable/fold up "high chair" things that attaches to a table top and the baby can sit in it. Ours is made by Chicco and I got it at Babies R Us for $40 or $50 a few years ago.

I saw what another put about the jr. picnic tables and wanted to second that! I got a couple for one of my kid's birthday parties a few years ago, and it folds flat and is great for camping -we do use that a lot, and it was about $25 at Toys R Us.

depending on how much room you have in the car, you could even get a Jr Picnic Table. We had one when my girls were less than 1 and 2 years old, and they actually sat there to eat most of the time! They loved it... still do at (almost) 4 and 5 years old.
otherwise, a booster seat would work perfect!
